The Following Sections are Proposed for Expedited Repeal: Chapter 296-50 WAC, Safety standards for manufacture of explosives in its entirety. Individual sections proposed for repeal are WAC 296-50-010, 296-50-020, 296-50-030, 296-50-040, 296-50-050, 296-50-060, 296-50-070, 296-50-080, 296-50-090, 296-50-100, 296-50-110, 296-50-120, 296-50-130, 296-50-140, 296-50-150, 296-50-160, 296-50-170, 296-50-180, 296-50-190, 296-50-200, 296-50-210, 296-50-220, and 296-50-230.

Rules Proposed for Expedited Repeal Meet the Following Criteria: Rule is no longer necessary because of changed circumstances; and other rules of the agency or of another agency govern the same activity as the rule, making the rule redundant.

Any person who objects to the repeal of the rule must file a written objection to the repeal within thirty days after publication of this preproposal statement of inquiry.

Address Your Objection to: Selwyn Walters, Department of Labor and Industries, P.O. Box 44001, Olympia, WA 98504-4001.

Reason the Expedited Repeal of the Rule is Appropriate: There are currently no explosive manufacturers in the state of Washington with which to regulate. The necessary requirements to ensure the safety, health and welfare of explosive manufacturing are located within chapters 296-24, 296-52, and 296-67 WAC. In addition, there is no equivalent federal (OSHA) regulation to chapter 296-50 WAC.
